The New York Times: Must We Gentrify the Rest Stop?.

Ted$8roadFan:
I’m somewhat surprised to see this in the New York Times, an institution which if anything represents the kind of changes that are coming to the Thruway rest areas.

webny99:
There's been plenty of discussion of these upgrades in the Thruway thread.

I thought the existing service areas were fine and would much rather the funds went towards widening select sections of the Thruway. But I guess upgrades were going to be needed eventually (maybe in a decade or two) so I'm not going to complain.

vdeane:
I don't think Applegreen would have paid for widening the Thruway.

I was surprised that they even acknowledge the Thruway exists. Roads are for proles.
